[00:01.34]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[00:08.50]You were talkin’ so brave and so sweet
[00:13.09]Givin’ me head on the unmade bed
[00:20.12]While the limousines wait in the street
[00:25.18]Those were the reason an’ that was New York
[00:31.15]We were runnin’ for the money and the flesh
[00:35.72]And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:41.71]Probably still is for those of them left
[00:46.92]Ah, but you got away, didn’t you, baby?
[00:52.69]You just turned your back on the crowd
[00:57.27]You got away, I never once heard you say
[01:02.75]I need you, I don’t need you
[01:07.75]I need you, I don’t need you
[01:12.91]And all of that jiving around
[01:21.36]I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
[01:27.40]You were famous, your heart was a legend
[01:32.68]You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:37.66]But for me you would make an exception
[01:42.78]And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:48.34]Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
[01:53.58]You fixed yourself, you said: Well, never mind
[01:59.22]We are ugly but we have the music
[02:03.95]And you got away, didn’t you, baby?
[02:08.36]You just turned your back on the crowd
[02:14.12]You got away, I never once heard you say
[02:19.75]I need you, I don’t need you
[02:25.15]I need you, I don’t need you
[02:30.43]And all of that jiving around
[02:39.08]I don’t mean to suggest that I loved you the best
[02:44.14]I can’t keep track of each fallen robin
[02:49.89]I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
[02:54.62]That’s all, I don’t even think of you that often
